Pulverised coal feeding requires economic efficiency, quality and maximum reliability. The parameters are based on the interplay of overall system engineering, material discharge, feeding and pneumatic material transport.

FLSmidth is changing the face of the cement and minerals industries. Best-in-class solutions and the latest innovations are increasing reliability and deducing downtime. And advanced engineering across the entire flow sheet means faster returns on investment around the globe.

Sarah Calman from ACS Valves shows the AF Aero Flow feeder. It is a feeder valve for sticky and abrasive materials combines pressurized air with the dry bulk material. It can be used in applications where the end plate and rotor are going to be wearing a lot.

Prater rotary airlocks/valves can easily be configured to fit most application requirements. We manufacture specialized rotary airlocks with larger pockets, allowing up to 50% more volume, to enable them to run at lower speeds.

Description:
The Mucon Iris Diaphragm Valve presented by Kemutec is the Bulk Material Industry leader for strong, gentle and precise flow control of powder and granular materials. The valves are used world wide because of their superb flow control characteristics and versatile application.

Tech Tips:Monitoring the Differential Pressure of Your BaghouseTips from Schenck Process Service Technicians to ensure your equipment continues to run accurately and efficiently.

The differential pressure reading is a simple way to get a quick assessment of how your baghouse is running. It is important to monitor the pressure differential of your baghouse on a regular basis (at least once a day), and make sure the pressure differential gauge is working correctly.

If there are any sudden changes in the pressure differential, whether up or down, first make sure the two lines connecting the gauge are not plugged, crimped or damaged.

If the gauge is reading “normal” range, and there are no emissions visible, the filter is running properly. If, however, you begin to notice an upward creep in the pressure differential, it can be an indication that the filter bags are beginning to plug and may need to be replaced.

If there is sudden upward spike in pressure differential, it is usually symptomatic of an upset condition in the baghouse (for example, a sudden influx of moisture-laden air that decreases bag permeability) or possible problems with the bag-cleaning system.

If there is a sudden decrease in pressure differential, often accompanied by visible emissions, may indicate actual failure of one or more filter bags.

Tech Tips:MECHATRON FeedersTips from Schenck Process Service Technicians to ensure your equipment continues to run accurately and efficiently.

Make sure your flex hopper clamp is above the guide pin on the front of the hopper. This ensures material will never leak from the flex hopper connection.

Do not use any chlorine based cleaners on the flexible hopper. If you have questions check with the Schenck Process Service department to make sure you’re cleaner is approved.

Make sure your inlet and discharge connections always have a little bit of slack. A feeder on load cells should be “floating.”

If in gravimetric mode make sure the feeder remains untouched. Bumping or resting on the feeder while its running can greatly influence the load cells and flow rate.

If changing to a new material, contact the Schenck Process Service department to help verify your helix is capable of your required rates.
